Rarity wasn’t there yet and Fluttershy stomped on Rainbow chest and ran away. Truthfully if any other pony, but Fluttershy did that, I probably would prank them or something to get revenge, like I did with Ditzy. Oh well. Twilight was looking through a pair of binoculars. “I don’t see any dragons.” She stated. “Me neither.” Applejack added. “Me neither, neither. Shoot.” Pinkie said holding her binoculars backwards. “You don’t think we missed them do you?” Rainbow asked. “I don’t think so. We’re just a little early and I’m glad we are. This way we can watch the migration without bringing any unwanted attention to ourselves.” Twi said. “Yoohoo!” Called Rarity walking down a red carpet with an explosion of confetti. “Well? What do you think? Am I the toast of the trench or what?” She asked. “You’ll be toast alright. When the dragons see you prating around in that getup.” Applejack whispered. Twilight teleported the carpet and confetti away and said, “You look very nice Rarity, but could you maybe look nice down here in the trench with us?” “Nice is an understatement. I look fabulous. Who says camouflage has to be drab?” Rarity then said. “Well nopony, but camouflage is suppose to be practical. I mean where could you blend into? A circus maybe?” I asked. Rarity gave me a small glare while everypony else chuckled a little bit. “Dragons ahoy.” Pinkie called. We watched hundreds of dragons fly above us. “Amazing.” Twi said as one did a loopy-loop. “Pretty lame move. That all you got?” Rainbow said. Two dragons started fighting and we all ducked under the fiery breath of one. Well technically I instinctively grabbed Rainbow and pulled her down with me, but I’m sure she would have ducked anyways. “What do you think of that move Rainbow Dash?” Applejack asked, “Still super lame?” “Uh...Not so much. The word fierce comes to mind.” responded Rainbow. “And formidable.” Rarity added. “And super duper scary.” Pinkie added as well. “Yeah us dragons are a force to be wrecked with.” Spike, who I have no idea were he came from. I swear he wasn’t here a second ago, said giving out sweets to everypony. Rainbow started laughing. “Yeah right Spike. That’s one of the scariest aprons I’ve ever seen.” Pinkie, Applejack and I started laughing as well. “What’s wrong with wearing an apron?” Spike asked defensefully, “You won’t be laughing when you spill blueberries all over your scales, feathers. That’s one tough stain.” “One tough stain against one lame dragon.” Rainbow said laughing again. “You leave him alone Rainbow Dash! Spike’s style is unique. He doesn’t have to look like other dragons.” Rarity said. “Or act like them.” Twilight added. “My little Spiky-Wiky is perfect the way he is.” Rarity said playing with his scales. “I don’t act like other dragons?” Spike asked. “Oh not even close.” Pinkie answered. “But why, would you want to Spike?” Applejack asked. “Yeah last time you did you almost destroyed Ponyville remember?” I added. They all stared at me. “What? Did I say something offensive?” I asked. Rarity looked back at Spike and continued “You got something those dreadful, fierce dragons can only dream of.” “What’s that?” Spike asked with hope in his eyes. “The cutest little chubby cheeks.” She answered playing with them. “Cute?! Dragons aren’t suppose to be cute! Right?” “Oh you’re turning the most delightful shade of red. It’s most becoming.” Spike grunted and walked out of the trench frustrated. “Aww, isn’t he adorable when he woddles off in anger?” Rarity asked everypony. “Woddles?! UUUUUUGGGGGHHH!” Spike shouted back. ______________________________________________________________________________ The next day Rarity, Rainbow and I were walking to the library to invite Twilight and Spike to breakfast. “Hey guys!” Rarity and Rainbow said opening the door. This startled Spike, making him jump behind a pile of books. “Good morning.” Rarity sang. “You want to join us for breakfast?” Rainbow asked. “That sounds great. I’m famished.” Twilight said. “Count me out. I got to get an early start.” Spike said. “An early start?” Rarity repeated. “Yes, I’m going on a quest of self discovery. I need to have to learn what it means to be a dragon. The only way I’m going to do that is to join the dragon migration!” “WHAT?!” We all shouted. Rainbow walked up to Spike as he was packing and said to him, “Spike that’s nonsense talk. I know you’re a dragon and all, but those dragons mean business. They’re big and tough and scary.” “And I’m small and weak and I like to wear aprons. See this is exactly why in need to spend time with them.” Spike said. “All I’m saying is that you can get hurt.” “Darling, this time I really have to agree with Rainbow Dash. I don’t want those big, ugly, nasty dragons to hurt one little scale on your cute little head.” Rarity said, but Spike walked away from her. “I’m sorry, but I made up my mind.” He said walking towards the door. “Quick! Do something! Stop him before it’s too late!” Rarity commanded. Rainbow tried to grab this stuff and had a bit of a tug of war with him before Twilight teleported them apart. She then floated what Spike packed to him. “Don’t tell me you think her should go?” Rainbow said. “Yes. Spike, I couldn’t answer your questions. My books couldn’t either. I understand wanting to look elsewhere. I truly believe in you to go on this quest and we have no right to stop you.” Twi told him. “I suppose not.” Rarity said rubbing the back of her head. “I still think you’re nutty, but hey I’ve done lot’s of nutty things.” Rainbow said. “We know.” The rest of us responded. “Well then, I guess this is good bye Spike. We can’t wait to hear about it when you return.” Twi said hugging him. Rainbow then spoke, “Yeah we hope your trip...” “Quest.” Twilight corrected. “Quest answers some of your, who am I, questions.” “Good luck man.” I said. “Thanks everypony, I know it will.” He said. Spike walked off and we waved good bye. ______________________________________________________________________________ “Doesn’t this go against what you just said to Spike?” I asked them as they were getting into a three-pony dragon suit that Rarity made very quickly. “We’re not stopping him, we’re just looking out for little Spiky-Wiky.” Rarity answered defensefully. “Whatever just be safe yourselves.” “Oh come on Seth. Do you think some dragons are going to harm us?” Rainbow asked. “Weren’t you the one that said that were big, tough and scary?” Rainbow got a small blush on her face. I quickly grabbed her into a hug. “D’awww, you should see how cute you look right now.” “Don’t say stuff like that!” She shouted, with her face almost completely red now. I just let out a laugh. Well, during the time the were gone all I really did was put all those books back because Twilight didn’t clean after herself. Yeah fun. Anyways nothing happened, until one night. ______________________________________________________________________________ “Celestia dammit! You again?!” I shouted at Inferno. “I’m really getting bucking tired seeing you! So just tell me you plan already!” Inferno just started laughing, “Fine, do you remember what I asked last time? About the mutiverse theory?” “Yeah, but what does that have to do with anything?” “You see it’s true. There really are multiple universes and You and I are from the same one.” “How that important?” “You see we’re both oddities.” “What does that mean?” “To my knowledge you and I don’t exist in any other universe, but the one we’re from.” “How would you know this?” “What do you think I’ve been doing for all these years?” He then rased his arms up and hundreds, maybe thousands of light blue orbs filled up the area and Inferno carried on. “Each of these orbs represents a different universe. When the Elements trapped me here I started to study them because they all seem to have some sort of shield around them preventing me of entering them. All different versions of our world, but with just some small differences. The most common ones are beings who are just in one universe. I dubbed these as oddities, but one day I realized that I wasn’t in any or these other universes. That I too was an oddity. But, one day the shield around the universe I was from started to get weaker. The day Discord created you. I’m not sure how this works, but your existence is leading to my freedom.” “And you haven’t seen me in any others?” I asked. “Nope.” “Well Discord also made Screwball, so isn’t she also involved in this?” “No, I’ve seen her in other universes, but I’ll say this Screwball is much different from others I’ve seen.” “And you told me all this because, why exactly? I mean if you never brought me here to begin with I wouldn’t have left for Canterlot training to fight you, witch come think of it why am I not doing that now?” “Don’t bother. I can’t be harmed here. I mean come on how do you think I’m still alive after 1,300 years? This area between universes somehow kept me alive all this time. I don’t understand how, but I’m not complaining. As for the training I really don’t care. I don’t think you could even scratch me when I get free. Anyways I’ll see you then.” He snapped his fingers and disappeared. ______________________________________________________________________________ I woke up and saw that I now had a sleeping Rainbow Dash next to me. Huh, I wonder when she got back. I definitely have a lot to tell her in the morning. Come to think of it I should write down what I was just told while it’s fresh in my head so I can send it to Princess Celestia in the morning as well and Twi would be interested too. I’m going to have a busy day tomorrow am I?
